"Sea Fever" Gets First-Ever Live Stream Film Premiere

In what global entertainment company Gunpowder & Sky and its Sci-Fi label DUST is calling the "first-ever live stream film premiere," Neasa Hardiman's new film Sea Fever will be streamed live on the evening of Thursday, April 9 at 5:00 PM PT/8 PM ET at https://seafever.watchdust.com. The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the film's stars Hermione Corfield (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation), Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman 1984, Gladiator) and BAFTA award-winning director Neasa Hardiman (Happy Valley, Jessica Jones). Audience members will be able to post their questions in a chatroom.

The event will kick-off SEA FEVER's On Demand and Digital release on April 10th.

This virtual communal experience is the first-of-its-kind – giving audiences the chance to interact with each other and the film's stars in the comfort of their own homes. SEA FEVER initially had a nationwide theatrical plan in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse and Fantastic Fest. However, with the recent closure of theaters throughout the country due to the growing Coronavirus pandemic, Gunpowder & Sky pivoted from its original theatrical plans, and is bringing the communal theatrical viewing experience to audiences at home.

"Like everyone else, we are adjusting to life's new challenges on a daily basis and feel Sea Fever is more relevant than ever," said Janet Brown, EVP of Acquisitions and Global Distribution for Gunpowder & Sky. "We are psyched to host the first-ever live experience of a film screening, and can't wait to share it with audiences!"
